On Thursday January 30, 2020, I published new walkthroughs for the games and stories listed below! Some of these were paid for by my wonderful patrons at Patreon. Please consider supporting me to make even more new walkthroughs for works of interactive fiction at patreon.com/dswxyz.
In this large game, it's Saturday morning. You play as a guy waking up to the sounds and smells of breakfast that your wonderful girlfriend is making downstairs. But when you reach the kitchen, Natalie isn't there. Or anywhere in the apartment. You soon learn that your evil ex-landlady, Mabel, who knows magic, has escaped from prison. She must've kidnapped Natalie again! But where are they now?

In this game, you once again play as Ninario's apprentice from another world. Ninny suspects that Renaldo, evil wizard in hiding, is up to something and asks you to fetch his interplanar rift analyser from his safety deposit box back in Vechlee. The key, uh, it must be in the robes he sent to the cleaners. He hands you a laundry claim ticket and a snow globe then shoves you out the door before you can ask a single question.
3. Clusterflux by Marshal Tenner Winter (2019) Average member rating: (10 ratings)

In this game, you play as Zeddy Maddox, a guy who lives in a third floor apartment; the building was a well-to-do family house in 1920's. Lately, there have been strange shakings and noises. The guys on the second floor vanished. And your talking pet mongoose, Gef, who showed up mysteriously a few weeks ago, can't explain why a woman you've never met is now sleeping on your couch.
You play as a Horse, the dominant species on this planet. Your lover was unfaithful, so you plan to use a Rootwork ritual to ensnare him to you forever. Most of the ingredients you'll need are in the swamp north of Creola.
5. A Moment of Hope, by Simmon Keith (1999) Average member rating: (4 ratings) David Welbourn says:
In this short story, you play as a young man who becomes a nervous wreck wondering if Anna, a woman he matched with on a dating website, actually has any romantic interest in him or not.
In this short game of intrigue, you play as the venerable A, the highest-ranking member of your religion's Hierarchy. During a formal service at a remote holding, you sense a conspiracy to eliminate you is underfoot, and you note that the speaker is rambling, deliberately delaying the service's natural end. You must act, without breaking protocol, or you'll likely soon be dead.
